Cubs News
The Cubs thrashed the Royals 10-2, wrapping up a grueling 17-game stretch with a remarkable 12-5 record, a testament to their resilience. Matthew Boyd delivered another stellar performance on the mound, going seven strong innings, while Ian Happ broke free from his slump, showcasing the squad's depth amidst fatigue. With the team gearing up for a playoff push, the return of injured relievers Hoby Milner and Shelby Miller could bolster the bullpen just in time. On the minor league front, the activation of Ethan Roberts is a sign of their commitment to strengthening the roster, even as the I-Cubs struggled against the Indians. Amid trade talks involving Tarik Skubal, it’s clear the front office is motivated to make moves that will keep this momentum going.
